Semi-OT: Strange behaviour of the letter "L"

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I've noticed something odd... All the time when the second letter of a word is the letter "L", it is capitalized. For no reason. Even in words I was certain had lowercase "L"s first.

Could someone please give me an explanation?

This has to win the prize for the most obscure post ever on this forum. What the heck are you talking about?

Are you an alien? Are you from Alaska? Are you trying to alarm us?

All of these look fine to me.

What I'm talking about:

I was browsing older posts on one of the threads, and came along one of my old posts. It said "bLaster" there TWICE while I am CERTAIN I did NOT capitalize the "L" myself. I checked another thread... yup. I spotted it again in some posts, all NOT mine. And ONLY the SECOND letter of a word, never another one. Always the SECOND. I figured something was wrong. At least three people capitalizing their "L"s as the second letter? That's impossible. Again, I am absolutely CERTAIN I wrote "blaster" and NOT "bLaster". DEFINITELY not twice. And others as well? I thought something might be wrong with the server or something. That;s why I posted this.

Oh. Well then, no forum error.

And it is NOT tape. It is an actual image.

That's the point... Firebird is an old version of Firefox. It has bugs that were fixed in later releases. Whomever's computer that is really, really needs to update it...

Breaking news! Another occurrence of the bL phenomenon was witnessed by our investigating teams. Story follows.

In this post, blasted has been written as "bLasted", which seems fairly odd. There is another L in R'lyeh, but this may be an unrelated matter.

This post is fairly odd, from before the forum upgrade, which would support Will's theory about it being a prank. Hmm... Both times, the word in question began with "bL". Perhaps it is something with bL, or even "bLast"?

Several occurrences of "bLast" in old threads (before the last forum upgrade) were detected. Oddly enough, in these occurrences "bLast" only appears in the subjects, and not in the posts themselves. It seems that *all* such threads have "bLast" instead of blast, even threads following the last forum upgrade. Hmm, it smells of a conspiracy... Connecting too many dots? Who, moi?

Blast blast blast.

My blasts come out just fine.

note: the capitalizations in my previous post were not accidental. In fact, they had nothing to do with teeth at all.

Stop being a bLoody aLarmist. There's probabLy some sLight dirt in your keyboard.

Not just me. Also AT and several others. And only the SECOND "L" in a word, never the third, fourth, fifth, or whatever. I'm serious.
